I think the Jets will have to wait and see who they can get in FA before they trade away their best LB. If they trade him, that will leave two holes at ILB, a position that is not always easy to fill in the 3-4.

Eric Barton is a decent player and Vilma is definitely not our best LB anymore.

Someone who agrees! We are losing most of our first day picks to get Adrian Peterson. If Peterson had never gotten injured in college, I'd consider it, but giving up that much for a RB who was injury prone in college is too risky. If WR was a huge need of ours, I'd possibly consider it, but this is too much.

That they traded a linebacker who doesn't really fit their defense for the #2 pick in the draft? If anything the Jets would be getting the better end of this deal. Vilma is good, but not enough to give up the #2 pick.

I understand that Vilma is a better fit in a 3-4 scheme and the Jets aren't going to run that but the Jets are giving up their first 2 picks in the draft and a pretty good linebacker for the 2nd pick. I'm sorry but with a draft that is going to have pretty good depth in the first 2 rounds, the Lions are getting the better end of this deal. I foresee this deal being spoken in the same breath as the LT-Vick and Eli-Rivers/Merriman trades.
